Krushed

  I don’t even live in Israel and already I am tired of the war. I’m in no position to realize the distress it has caused to both Palestine and Israel alike. I can only imagine that my own feelings are intensified and there is undeniable suffering. Where’s all the love at?

  Krushed. Back to the program. I’m currently looking forward to Hiroki’s arrival on the 31st. I find the Japanese spirit to be one of the most amazing and sacred in this universe. A place where the aesthetic of everydayness lives.  

 I’m happy there’s love in some of us… you know who you are

Black Eye

  My first black eye. It’s fascinating the attention that it attracts. This might seem like a strange entry, but yes someone robbed me this past Thursday. In ways, it does hurt my pride although there was nothing I could of done. I didn’t even have a chance to react as he came up behind me and slammed me in the right eye.

   It’s a strange feeling. I’ve made so much progress in living in anti-racist modes of existence. I had become accustomed to my daily/night walks through racialized space. And then this event happens. I’m going to continue to strive to be anti-racist, and to bring harmony into this world. I will return the act of violence with love and respect. I feel retaliation of any sort would only be a weakness, and stands outside of my own way of life.

   Mor made the astute comment that there has to be people like this in the world for there to be a balance. I understand her consideration, although I do feel human beings possess the potentiality to create their own morality which denies evil. But the whole history of Western morality has created this overarching dichotomy. I can only hold my head up, and continue to strive and persevere in my own way. The current predicament exists because of the fact that we live in a racist and racially constituted world, so it is important more than ever I stay true to my belief in respect, harmony, and purity.
